I met this lady when I was a Marine - she was a recording artist and a pinup during WWII and a hot babe for the boys in Korea. During Vietnam she went to see the troops again and just wanted to hug and love every young G.I. she could get near as a middle-aged woman that had been around too many wars as an entertainer. I was saddened to hear of her death several years ago - this was a wonderful girl.

This was her biggest hit:

At one time people could sing lyrics that you could understand with talented musicians in the same room to make some nice stuff to hear.

I am out of touch now and I'm having trouble with the the bitch-ho rap and the screaming into a microphone with no instruments in the background.

Yes, the Duprees made a hit out this song when I was fighting puberty and they did it well:
